I'm going to see if my seamstress can angle the hem slightly so that it curves up in front a bit and down in the back -- not a true high-low hem, but just a little bit of a way to showcase shoes/boots a little more. I'm thinking maybe taking up 2-3 inches in back and maybe 4-5 at the front. I'll see what she thinks.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953979 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 12:59:12 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1953979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like pic 4, think that if you shorten it, you should consider some type of gather &amp;/or an uneven hemline instead of straight across. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953975 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 12:53:01 +0000 Gail 1953975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh Janet I like this on you !&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953942 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 09:50:56 +0000 Jessikams 1953942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think all those shoes work. Sneakers for fall weather, brown boots for everyday wear once it’s colder, and the black boots make it look much dressier.</p> <p>I also bought a cheap fun dress for fall today. Cheers to a new season! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953912 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 06:18:05 +0000 Jane 1953912@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress and great styling. I like the idea of it over skirted leggings.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953888 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 02:56:13 +0000 Jaime 1953888@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely chop. Elaine Benes vibes in the best way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953875 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 00:58:33 +0000 Anonymous 1953875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Id personally have a professional hem it, but you may trust your sewing skills more than i do my own! Does the dress button all the way? If so it could make a dramatic topper when it gets colder:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953874 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 00:57:51 +0000 Echo 1953874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The opening in the front breaks up the line of the dress enough to show the shoes and a little leg. I would not shorten it. Much like Angie recommends sleeveless dresses be worn without a topper when possible because the dress was designed to be worn that way, I feel similarly about the length. Yes, a dress can always be shortened, but it changes the entire look. I don't have a poison eye for maxi dresses, and I think this one is perfect the way it is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953872 Fri, 07 Sep 2018 00:50:14 +0000 Karie 1953872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful dress! Hemming a dress is pretty easy, but I always do it by hand, not machine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953853 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 23:47:52 +0000 cindysmith 1953853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! The print is really rich looking </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953848 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 23:34:38 +0000 Anonymous 1953848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie too. A keeper but could use a hack. I like the black chain belt best </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953847 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 23:25:19 +0000 Brooklyn 1953847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great. I agree with Angie. Give it the chop. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953835 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 21:52:34 +0000 Gigi 1953835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this! Now I want one. I'll have to keep my eyes out. :)</p> <p>The pattern works well with your natural coloring. I really like the button-up feature too, allowing you to showcase your footwear/legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953804 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 19:24:03 +0000 rachylou 1953804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colours of the pattern are beautiful on you. I esp like the dress with the jean jacket... I’m into the Westworld trend right now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953789 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 18:14:34 +0000 ChrisM 1953789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute! I can never find anything at Rack a I get overwhelmed easily!</p> <p>Is it DIY? To me, it depends on the fabric. A sturdy woven, you can do it. Anything knit or floaty - maybe a pro should do it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953775 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 17:25:38 +0000 Cardiff girl 1953775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous find it looks much more expensive than you paid and suits you to a t. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953771 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 17:20:05 +0000 Janet 1953771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!&nbsp;</p> <p>Now the big question, do I attempt the alteration myself with my newly-acquired machine sewing skills, or trust it to the professional? ;-)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953759 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 17:01:25 +0000 Ginger 1953759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the long length, but I can see it being great at 3-4" shorter, too. What a perfect color combination! And that chain belt is magic. Invisible structure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953753 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:36:33 +0000 Gretchen 1953753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to the 90s look-and more florals!! I vote to shorten a little so your boots can show. Great find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953746 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:18:27 +0000 Katerina 1953746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! The colour palette is gorgeous on you (and your bedroom :-)).<br /> I am especially loving your styling in no 4, but all are great.<br /> I am not good at lengths and I always trust Angie. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953745 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:12:05 +0000 Janet 1953745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, Angie! I like the idea of cutting a few inches off and wearing with tall boots too! I’ve enjoyed my casual dresses so much this summer. It would be nice to do a bit more with casual dresses in f/w. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953741 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 16:04:45 +0000 Angie 1953741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES to your styling ideas, <b>Janet.</b>&nbsp;Fun duster idea.&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote hack 3 to 4 inches and another KILLER item. Like seeing you in a belt and tall boots too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953737 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 15:52:44 +0000 Janet 1953737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I just realized this dress is the same color scheme as our bedroom, and also echoes my own coloring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-90s-%e2%80%94-floral-maximidi#post-1953732 Thu, 06 Sep 2018 15:46:16 +0000 Janet 1953732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I picked up this shirt dress at the Rack, I just couldn’t resist. It was all of $24, so perhaps a fun cheap way to add a dress to my fall/winter wardrobe. It’s very 90s, but in a way that I like. It’s quite long, intended to be a maxi I’m sure, but it kinda hits me in a place that’s somewhere between midi and maxi. I like that it can be buttoned or unbuttoned as much as one wants to add a glimpse of leg so it doesn’t seem like such a huge expanse of print. I was thinking it might even work over my black skirted leggings for an interesting layered look. I’ve rolled the sleeves in some pics. </p> <p>I’ve added a belt in these pics. I like the (ancient!) black chain belt because I can cinch it as loose or as tight as I please without any annoying belt excess flapping around. I barely have any waist-belts anymore, I so rarely wear them. </p> <p>Here I’m trying various boots, after taking a photo in the sneakers I just happened to be wearing yesterday. </p> <p>Is this a keeper? If so, should I chop a little off the length, or keep it long and dramatic? What do we think of footwear with this? I welcome feedback! </p>
